text: Boise| Remote | US Time Zone<p>Hello, I am looking for someone with react native and chart library expertise  (such as Victory - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;formidable.com&#x2F;open-source&#x2F;victory&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;formidable.com&#x2F;open-source&#x2F;victory&#x2F;</a>) to create a real-time polar chart with X, Y and Z axis that would represent pitch, yaw and roll.<p>The chart would show the current value of pitch, roll and yaw (i.e. real-time data point need to be displayed only and no historical data plot). The chart should be performant for real-time tracking (i.e., around 50-100 data points per second). Also, the range of the X, Y, Z axis should be adjusted so that it is easier to see these 3 values when there is a movement. (please message me if you have questions on the last statement).<p>Thank you for looking into this project.<p>--Nat
